Smart Approaches to Marijuana and other prohibitionist organizations are suing federal health officials to stop a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services pilot program covering hemp CBD and THC products from taking effect this week.
The Idaho Senate passed a resolution urging voters not to sign petitions to put a medical cannabis initiative on the November ballot—claiming that legalization causes crime, health and safety problems.
The New Hampshire House of Representatives amended a bill to legalize the regulated use of psilocybin for medical purposes by making it so it would only create an advisory board to study the therapeutic potential of the psychedelic—and members also rejected an attempt to revive legislation to protect medical cannabis patients’ gun rights.
The Hawaii Senate Health and Human Services Committee approved a pair of resolutions pushing state officials to seek federal exemptions and waivers for medical cannabis patients and dispensaries from the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Leaders with the newly launched Latino Cannabis Alliance argue in a new Marijuana Moment op-ed that “despite carrying the consequences of criminalization, and being key sustainers of the legal industry as workers and consumers, Latinos are underrepresented as business owners in the industry.”
Michigan Democratic gubernatorial candidate Chris Swanson, currently the Genesee County sheriff, is pleading to repeal a recently enacted marijuana tax increase if he’s elected.
